Battery pack
On charging the battery pack
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to
86°F). The battery pack may not be effectively charged in temperatures outside this range.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the operational time
of the battery pack is shorter. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use:
Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the camera
immediately before you start shooting.
The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently.
We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and
making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.
How to store the battery pack
Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store it in a cool, dry place. To maintain the battery
pack’s function, fully charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it on the camera at least once a
year while storing.
To use the battery pack up, leave the camera in slideshow playback mode until the power goes off.
To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag to keep away from
metal materials when carrying or storing.
On battery life
The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased
usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.
The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment in
which each battery pack is used.
Compatible battery pack
The NP-BN1 (supplied) can be used only in N type compatible Cyber-shot models.
